Chapter 185 Five vs. Seven
Amidst thunderous applause from the audience, the two teams entered the arena. Since this was the only match of the day, their game was naturally scheduled for the most prominent central arena.
Unlike in the past, the audience did not unanimously support the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 1 as usual, but instead split into two groups. One group remained firmly in support of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 1, while the other group favored Blue Tyrant Academy, with the support rates for the two groups roughly even.
After all, the Blue Tyrant Academy, filled with beautiful women, is truly irresistible. Who wouldn't like beautiful women?
Even those who supported the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team did not belittle Blue Tyrant Academy, and the atmosphere among the audience was very harmonious.
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuyun led the remaining five women slowly onto the arena, standing opposite Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the other nine.
"How could it be them?" Ning Rongrong was immediately surprised, and Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were also full of doubt. When did the Shrek Academy people get to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? This question arose in their minds at the same time.
"Rongrong, do you know them?" Dugu Yan turned to look at Ning Rongrong. She didn't know Tang San and the others, only their four former teammates. Yang Ruolin, Bai Chenxiang, and Ye Lingling also cast curious glances their way.
"That blond guy leading the group is Dai Mubai, the average-looking one is Tang San, that girl is Xiao Wu, that fat-headed, lecherous one is Ma Hongjun, and that one with peach blossom eyes is Oscar." Ning Rongrong gave everyone a very simple introduction to the Shrek Seven Devils. The girls were able to identify them quickly, as their features were quite obvious.
"So it was them." Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling immediately lost their goodwill towards these people. They had lived with the three women for two years and had naturally learned about Shrek Academy and the others' character from Ning Rongrong and the others.
"Tang San? His surname is Tang..." Yang Ruolin narrowed her eyes and looked at Tang San. She and Bai Chenxiang had only been in this big family for ten days and didn't know anything about Tang San, nor did they know that Tang San was Tang Hao's son. But that didn't stop her from feeling a little disgusted with Tang San, because she hated anyone with the surname Tang.
As for Bai Chenxiang, she didn't have many thoughts. The Min clan's hatred for the Haotian Sect was not as strong as that of the Po clan, and she didn't know Tang San either, so she treated him like a complete stranger.
On the other side, the atmosphere within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team was extremely tense. Dai Mubai, in particular, who had been seething with resentment and nameless anger, gradually deflated when facing Blue Tyrant Academy. Especially upon seeing Zhu Zhuyun, his courage paled in comparison to his cowardice.
Zhu Zhuyun's exquisite, aloof, and stunningly beautiful face, along with her voluptuous figure, did nothing to inspire Dai Mubai's admiration. Instead, it sent shivers down his spine and made his legs tremble slightly. At that moment, even little Mubai was desperately trying to shrink back into his shell. Who knew how much psychological trauma Zhu Zhuyun had inflicted on him?
Tang San's expression was somewhat solemn, but he still breathed a slight sigh of relief. Yu Tianyun's absence greatly boosted his confidence. At this moment, his gaze lingered most on Dugu Yan, because he had heard about Dugu Yan's terrifying power from the four members of the former Royal Fighting Team, and he estimated that Dugu Yan was not much weaker than Yu Tianyun.
Oscar's expression was more relaxed, and his gaze was more restrained, not daring to openly scrutinize the girls from Blue Tyrant Academy. Although he had only spent a short time with Yu Tianyun, he still had a good impression of him. These women clearly had a close relationship with Yu Tianyun, so he naturally wouldn't do anything that might offend him.
Surprisingly, Ma Hongjun, whose mind was filled with lewd thoughts, did not blatantly look at the girls from Blue Tyrant Academy. Instead, he avoided eye contact, revealing an expression of wanting to look but not daring to.
He could only steal glances at her out of the corner of his eye, but whenever he caught a glimpse of Bai Chenxiang, he felt a strange emptiness in his heart.
But he didn't think too much about it. Most single guys feel this way when they see a beautiful woman who belongs to someone else. He was very familiar with this feeling because he had experienced it too many times with Dai Mubai and Oscar.
The reason Ma Hongjun didn't dare to openly look at the girls from Lanba Academy was because he knew the consequences of provoking Lanba Academy. He still vividly remembered Yu Tianyun's kick.
Xiao Wu, however, was different from them. She frowned, looked displeased, and muttered, "What's so great about a bunch of people dressed like prostitutes?"
Xiao Wu's voice was very soft, and it wasn't heard by the girls from Blue Tyrant Academy amidst the cheers. Otherwise, she would definitely have received special attention.
After speaking, she kept stealing glances at the girls from Blue Tyrant Academy, especially when she saw Ning Rongrong, who used to be about her age but was now much older than her. She felt even more envious and jealous. At the same time, she couldn't help but glance at Tang San beside her, her eyes filled with resentment.
The remaining four members of the original Royal Fighting Team were quite calm, but their gazes were somewhat complicated. After all, two of the opponents were their former teammates. Although they weren't particularly close, they had been classmates for several years, so how could their feelings not be complicated?
At this moment, the chief referee walked over.
"Both parties bow to each other, and non-competitors step down from the ring."
The girls from Blue Tyrant Academy didn't mind at all and bowed gracefully. The members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team, however, bowed somewhat reluctantly.
Subsequently, Oscar and Ma Hongjun from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy stepped down from the arena.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan from Blue Tyrant Academy also stepped down from the arena.
This immediately caused a huge uproar.
"Why are there five people?"
"Aren't those two beautiful women in the audience going on stage?"
"Is this a sign of looking down on the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's first team? Or are they preparing to give up?"
"Are all beautiful women this arrogant? But I like it!"
"..."
The audience immediately began to discuss among themselves, finding it strange and puzzling that Blue Tyrant Academy only sent five students to the stage.
Meanwhile, the first team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was filled with confusion, relief, and anger.
Tang San, in particular, had a glint of fire in his eyes. With twin martial souls and innate full soul power, although he usually appeared approachable, his arrogance surpassed that of everyone else at Shrek Academy. In his eyes, the actions of Blue Tyrant Academy were an insult to him.
Tang San snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "Underestimating me will make you pay the price."
Tang San then stopped thinking about it and signaled his teammates to take their positions.
Dai Mubai felt somewhat relieved, and his fear of Zhu Zhuyun lessened a bit. He wasn't as arrogant as Tang San, otherwise he wouldn't have gone all the way to Shrek Academy to eke out a living.
Dai Mubai, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo stood at the very front, with Tang San in the middle, Xiao Wu and Oslo on either side of him, and Yu Feng standing in front of Tang San, ready to take off at any moment.
On the other side, Yang Ruolin stood alone at the front of Lanba Academy, with Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing on either side of her. Bai Chenxiang and Ye Lingling stood behind them, clearly to protect Ye Lingling.
In the VIP section, Prince Xuexing's expression was somewhat gloomy.
He was in charge of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and its good results made him proud. But the actions of the Blue Tyrant Academy clearly showed disrespect for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which naturally made him lose face as well.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Yu Yuanzhen sitting in the first row. He wanted to get up and say something, but then he immediately remembered that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and their royal family were currently in a honeymoon period.
If he were to speak recklessly and cause a deterioration in relations between the two sides, his elder brother, Emperor Xue Ye, would likely punish him severely. Although gaining the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was an achievement for his nephew, Xue Qinghe, it was genuinely beneficial to their Heavenly Dou Empire. Therefore, if he were to damage relations, the consequences would be severe, and he and Xue Beng would likely lose all power.
After figuring this out, Prince Xuexing sat down obediently again.
But the next second, Xuexing felt happy again, as someone spoke his mind.
Salas spoke slowly, "Sect Master Yu, does your Blue Tyrant Academy look down on the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Why have you only sent five people?"
At the same time, Chen Xin, who was sitting on the other side, moved her lips slightly and explained the situation to Ning Fengzhi. This surprised Ning Fengzhi slightly. Chen Xin told him about the cultivation levels of her daughter and her sisters. With his keen mind, he quickly guessed some of the information.
Faced with Salas's sarcastic remarks, Yu Yuanzhen merely glanced at him disdainfully, then turned to Emperor Xueye and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are indeed quite outstanding. A lineup of three Soul Sect masters and four Soul Venerable masters is extremely rare in our Heaven Dou region."
Xue Ye thought to himself, "Since you old bastard knows this, why did Blue Tyrant Academy only send five people? Isn't it because you look down on my Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?"
Of course, Xue Ye only despised him in his heart. Since Xue Xing didn't stand up to criticize him, he wouldn't say anything either. Who couldn't see through Salas's sarcastic and divisive tactic? He wasn't some hot-blooded young man in his twenties who was easily impulsive, so he immediately prepared to force a smile and respond to Yu Yuanzhen.
"However," Yu Yuanzhen continued before Xue Ye could speak, "Your Majesty, the fact that only five of my granddaughters-in-law participated is not because I look down on the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. If Your Majesty knew their strength, you wouldn't be surprised."
These words instantly drew the attention of everyone in the first few rows of the VIP section. All of them granddaughters-in-law? Very powerful?
The gazes of the crowd towards Yu Yuanzhen became somewhat complicated. Only Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin present could discern the cultivation levels of the women from Blue Tyrant Academy, as they were both Title Douluo with exceptionally strong spiritual power. Moreover, they had only just learned of the women's strength, so they instantly understood the reason why only five had appeared.
However, Salas was puzzled. He couldn't sense the soul power levels of the girls from Blue Tyrant Academy from such a distance. He couldn't help but look at Yu Yuanzhen, wanting to know the answer.
Salas wasn't surprised that Yu Yuanzhen ignored him. He would have been surprised if Yu Yuanzhen had spoken to him kindly. Aren't all the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan arrogant like this?
On the other side, Ning Fengzhi had his mouth open, intending to say a few good words for Yu Yuanzhen, but the phrase "my granddaughters-in-law..." instantly silenced him. He gritted his teeth and looked at Yu Yuanzhen with even more resentment. Chen Xin, meanwhile, clenched his fists so tightly that they made a slight cracking sound.
"Oh?" Xueye was also a little curious and asked, "According to what Sect Master Yu said, these contestants from Blue Tyrant Academy are all your grandson's wives? I wonder which grandson of yours they are? They are so lucky, it's truly enviable."
Yu Yuanzhen was slightly taken aback. "Shouldn't the focus this snowy night be on why Blue Tyrant Academy only sent five people to the field? Why is the attention on your granddaughter-in-law?"
Then, he noticed the resentful gazes of Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin on the other side. He coughed lightly, straightened his expression, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty flatters me. My little grandson is a womanizer, always attracting young ladies. As his grandfather, I can't very well interfere in the feelings of young people. Alas!"
"Ah, Sect Master Yu, you are mistaken. Young people are full of vigor, and it is only natural that an outstanding man like your grandson would be popular with young girls. This is perfectly normal, so there is no need to worry." Xue Ye smiled slightly, but some thoughts couldn't help but surface in his mind.
He didn't know all the women at Blue Tyrant Academy, but he did know a few of them. For example, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling—he had met them more than once. One was Ning Fengzhi's daughter, another was Dugu Bo's granddaughter, and Ye Lingling was from the Ye family of Nine Heart Begonia.
Xue Ye was initially puzzled as to why Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling would go to Lanba Academy, when they were doing well at his Tiandou Royal Academy. Now he understood: she was someone else's granddaughter-in-law, so it was perfectly reasonable for her to go to someone else's sect's academy.
Xue Ye was unaware of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's transfer to another school. He was only the nominal dean, and due to his busy schedule and poor health, he hadn't paid much attention to the school's affairs, let alone learned about this matter in detail.
Prince Xue Xing was mainly in charge of the affairs of the Tian Dou Royal Academy, but since it was Dugu Yan who transferred schools, he did not stop her. After all, he still had to rely on Dugu Bo, so he naturally did not pay much attention to this matter.
The three education commissions and Xue Qinghe had no right to interfere, since they had powerful backers, and transferring schools was a personal decision, so they had no reason to meddle.
However, all three families are considerable forces, and even the weakest, the Ye family, is an extremely important clan. The Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master's powerful healing abilities are extremely famous in upper-class society; it is said that as long as someone has a breath left, they can basically keep them alive.
Of course, even a Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master can't cure someone like Xue Ye who is chronically poisoned. After all, everyone has their own expertise. A Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master is only suitable for treating injuries. Detoxification is something that poison Soul Masters or members of the Yang family can do. At most, a Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master can only make someone endure the pain a little longer.
Given the extraordinary identities of Ning Rongrong and her two companions, Xue Ye assumed the remaining four girls would also be extraordinary. Indeed, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, Yang Ruolin, and Bai Chenxiang all had powerful backers associated with the Soul Douluo faction.
